South of the Border lyrics

Ay! Ay! Ay! ...

South of the border, down Mexico way

That's where I fell in love

When stars above came out to play

And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray

South of the border, down Mexico way

And she sighed as she whispered "mañana"

Never dreaming that we were parting

And I lied as I whispered "mañana"

For our tomorrow never came

South of the border I rode back one day

There in a veil of white by candlelight

She knelt to pray

The mission bells told me that I musn't stay

South of the border, down Mexico way

Ay! Ay! Ay! ...
